Translate: Parsing code for ....

[Emiliano Heyns]

Where does the code live that parses the translators and which outputs "Translate: Parsing code for"? This is unnecessary work for BBT background exports and I want to see if I can avoid it be called in those cases.

But it’s not like it’s being manually parsed - the translation architecture just calls a sandboxed eval() on the translator’s code.

Thanks!

Got that, but even though some recent fixes dramatically slimmed down the BBT translators, they're still very hefty, and the eval is entirely redundant for background exports.

Hmm, looks tricky to reach into that. Maybe better not.
